If I were to breed my male bloodred which is amel. het. hypo to a hypo bloodred would I get hypos,normal bloods and amel. hets? Thanks!, Jeff

Should be all bloodred, 50% of which are hypo het amel and the other 50% are het hypo het amel

My "guess"
Amel BR het hypo x hypo BR

50% hypo BR
50% BR het for hypo , as say this as both came from BR stock, even thought 1 is amel BR.

of those 1/2 would be het amel, 1/2 would not be het amel.

Unless the hypo or amel gene are one of the loci of the BR.

So:

25% Hypo BR
25% Hypo BR het amel
12.5% BR Het Amel
12.5% BR Het Amel Het Hypo
12.5% BR Het Hypo
12.5% BR

If that's right I'm playing the lotto

They should all be het amel as one of the parents is homo amel. Cheers!

I had that at first. I over thunk it.

I did it with words like yours, then wanted to do %'s and it grew, like an bad extrapolation.

Lol, that happens to me every time I try to do it in percentages too. I always have to break it down with words and then "maybe" try to put full percentages by them

Now I lost my first guess. But I think it matched yours. it seemed to simple lol.

the 2 BR babies I bought this year are suppose to be het motley and het amel. I almost canceled the deal. The guy thought it was a bonus. Motley is ok to me, I just want BR or hypo bloods. Producing amel bloods was not a plan. Now I will face the dilema in 3 years to I test his honesty once. And see if I get motley bloods?

All I want to do is bloods and maybe a couple abbotts. I had to many animals for me to care for. New radio frequency nerve ablation treatments is helping. The only reason I bought the blood babies this year.

MUCH more narrow scope on what I have.

I'd love to get into bloods myself, but I cannot keep enough animals to continue the breeding I'm already doing and start including bloods. I'm hoping that by this time next year I'll have my first babies for both of my projects, namely some amel het caramel het stripe, and some normal het amel het strip het lavender. Hoping for some butter lav and opal stripes in a few years

Out of my league. I'm about 2-3 years behind in genetics. Maybe lack of interest? GREAT snakes. I just want to keep it simple. maybe eventually get 3.8 bloods eventually.

I got my first on accident. Se sat at our shop for months at $125. No one bought her, so I took her.

Sadly she passed aftr he first clutch. She was a big bright red female.

Sorry same pic as I always post, I have others, but I'd have to look .
